Now that the interview process and ranking is over, I have a few things i wish I had done differently:
1. Cancelling too many interviews. I should have visited Duke, UVA, and Dartmouth to name a few. If I don't match at Iowa, I'm going to be very annoyed with myself.
2. Listening to hearsay. This has some relation to regret #1.
3. Speaking too soon. I liked one program so much I immediatly said, "I'm ranking you #1." The PD was super positive about me matching there, until I had to retract my statement. I was then taken off the rank list entirely.
4. Being obsessive about the whole process. I wasn't the only one with this problem!
Anybody got anything to add?
